Fleeting – Scents in Colour
Sentir l’art dans : Volatilisés – parfums en couleurs
11 February – 6 June 2021
An exhibition about the portrayal of smell in seventeenth-century art. Scented flowers and perfumes, foul-smelling canals and unpleasant body odours, smell and well-being, new aromas from far-away lands (spices, tobacco, coffee and tea), the disappearing smells of the bleaching fields, old crafts and more. Can life in the seventeenth century be captured in smell? How are smell (and scent) portrayed? What significance did people attach to smell? And what aromatic connotations do artworks have? In this exhibition, the Mauritshuis will undertake smell-historical research. In the vicinity of the art, various historic scents will be prepared to bring the the paintings in the exhibition to life.

‘Your loving Vincent’: Van Gogh’s Greatest Letters
Due to their fragility, his letters are rarely exhibited. This is a unique opportunity to see Van Gogh’s greatest letters alongside his masterpiece. Vincent van Gogh was not only a talented artist but also an avid letter writer. He wrote compelling letters about all aspects of his life: his dreams and disappointments, his love life, friendships and arguments, and about his battle with his illness.
A decade of remarkable acquisitions and their stories
10 ans d’acquisitions originales et leurs histoires particulières
The Van Gogh Museum will present the exhibition Here to stay. A decade of remarkable acquisitions and their stories. This exhibition shows artworks acquired by the museum over the last 10 years to make the collection and its story more complete. These artworks are here to stay. The collection contains more than just work by Van Gogh, something not everyone knows. Displaying these fairly unknown and unparalleled artworks with their own stories, including those of the artists, curators, art restorers, former owners and modern-day people from Amsterdam, Here to Stay will offer a wealth of objects and perspectives.
5 February until 24 May 2021
Van Gogh Inspires: Jan Robert Leegte
The series Van Gogh Inspires will feature work by Dutch artist Jan Robert Leegte, in which Leegte offers a new approach to nature and landscape. Instead of the tradition of ‘plein air’ painting, as Van Gogh and his contemporaries did, Leegte uses an algorithm to explore the wilderness of the internet and to mine random photographs of nature.
From mid-february 2021
Van Gogh and the Olive Groves
The Van Gogh Museum and the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) will host the first exhibition dedicated to Vincent van Gogh’s important olive grove series, executed during his yearlong stay at the asylum of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

The Dutch landscape, from the Haag School to Mondrian
Le paysage hollandais, de l’École de La Haye à Mondrian
Du 27 mars au 29 août 2021
Le paysage néerlandais est unique au monde. Ce n’est pas pour rien qu’il figure sur la liste des aires protégées de l’UNESCO. Le Kunstmuseum Den Haag en conserve unensemble exceptionnel qui est présenté au public pour la première fois en tant que tel : de l’École de La Haye à Mondrian – et au-delà. Au milieu du XIXe siècle, La Haye était le lieu de prédilection de nombreux artistes. La ville disposait non seulement d’une scène artistique florissante, avec une Académie des beaux-arts, des associations d’artistes et même un nouveau musée d’art contemporain à fonder – l’actuel Kunstmuseum – mais elle offrait aussi un magnifique paysage alentour à ceux qui avaient soif de représenter la nature. Ce groupe d’artistes désireux de se mettre à l’école de la nature se donna pour nom École de La Haye. Ce paysage typiquement hollandais, avec ses fossés rectilignes et ses allées de peupliers bordant des prés rectangulaires, ne laissait pas Mondrian insensible. Ce n’est pas un hasard si l’artiste qui révolutionna la peinture de manière si radicale, a ses racines dans un pays qui fut si patiemment façonné par la main de l’homme.
For Your Eyes Only (on display)
For the very first time, the nude photography collection of journalist and photography collector Wim de Jong is be shown to the public.‘For Your Eyes Only’, is featuring a selection from this remarkable collection of amateur snapshots. With women posing among the houseplants, next to the Christmas tree or in front of the fireplace; naked in the surf, on ski’s, or in the back garden. Over six hundred imaginative, charming, evocative, humorous, and often also moving, images are brought together at the Kunsthal.
Youthquake, The Desire for Eternal Youth
This multimedia exhibition reveals the strong influence youthfulness has on our image culture, at the hand of garments, photographs and videos. The fashion world provides excellent possibilities for being ageless – or at least for appearing to be ageless. And the desire to remain forever young is a theme that is also disseminated widely through marketing strategies and the (social) media. Project realised in collaboration with Fashion Museum Hasselt.
23 January – 13 June 2021
We Are Animals
The exhibition features a great variety of extraordinary animal creations by contemporary artists. Works by artists such as Maurizio Cattelan, Paul McCarthy, David Shrigley and Candida Höfer showcase the relationship between human beings and animals, but above all reveal how we, as humans, are trying to look at and understand ourselves better through animals.
5 February – 23 May 2021

Calder NOW!
‘Calder NOW!’ presents a new vision on Calder’s work and his place in art history. Apart from more than twenty works by Alexander Calder, the exhibition will feature work by contemporary artists, including Olafur Eliasson, Žilvinas Kempinas, Ernesto Neto, Aki Sasamoto, and Sarah Sze.

In the light of Cuyp, Aelbert Cuyp & Gainsborough – Constable – Turner
To celebrate the 400th anniversary of the birth of Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691) the Dordrechts Museum is organising a large exhibition about the Dutch artist and his impact on English landscape painters. In the light of Cuyp.
Aelbert Cuyp & Gainsborough – Constable – Turner will be held from 3 October 2021 to 6 March 2022. Cuyp, the master of hazy, golden evening light, is Dordrecht’s most famous painter. The exhibition will show around 30 of his most important paintings, temporarily bringing them back to the city where they were made. For the first time In the light of Cuyp will focus on the appreciation of Cuyp and his influence on British painters with over 30 works by famous artists such as Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner amongst others.
Listen to Your Eyes (on display)
For this collection presentation, art collector and museum founder Joop van Caldenborgh was given the nearly impossible task of selecting his favourites from among the modern and contemporary works he has spent the past six decades collecting. The result is a visual journey of discovery that offers you a glimpse inside the mind of the collector.
Antony Gormley – GROUND
23 April – 26 September 2021
For the first time, an exhibition covers two thirds of the museum. This makes it the largest solo show in Voorlinden since its opening. The exhibition shows a broad selection of Antony Gormley’s art: from his early work from the 1980s to his most recent sculptures. For example, the twelve-metre-long steel work Passage will be on display for the first time in the Netherlands, in which you travel through the dark unknown. The room-filling Breathing Room will also be shown, in which you imagine yourself in a three-dimensional drawing in space.
Voorlinden has a close relationship with Antony Gormley for years, who already made a sculpture for Clingenbosch sculpture garden in 1994.
Picasso-Giacometti
16 October 2021 – 13 February 2022
The exhibition proposes a chronological and thematic programme which presents the different aspects of their artistic production of the following mediums: painting, sculpture, and drawing. Project realised in collaboration with Musée national Picasso Paris et Fondation Giacometti.
